I looked this plant up, and it looks wonderful. I enjoyed seeing it, so I am glad you mentioned that.(y)
Will you be keeping it in a pot indoors, or will it go outdoors, eventually, assuming it thrives?

(Sorry to have mentioned 'coffee' in my post above. I had forgotten you have your cardio tomorrow, so must take the day off from it, till after that. :rolleyes:;) )

Oh, that's ok K... just drinking my java now. As far as the Nandina is concerned, there are several color and size varieties, but the most popular are the "dwarf Nandinas" which will grow in compact round "globes" about 2 ft or so high. I planted 3 tissue cultures in one 14" pot and will replant after they are hardened off. They can be grown outdoors all year here in 8-b or 9 zone. This one shown here changes color in the fall to a beautiful fire red:

Sitting here with nuthin to do now that my hairdresser just cancelled my appointment for this afternoon. I could have something to do if I want to take a chance on someone else, maybe I will cause everything happens for a reason.

Maybe pick up a few groceries along the way since they are calling for a snowstorm here.
 
Really fast day at cardio this morning...the team was "cookin" -had blood drawn, did the nuc resonating tests and the treadmill run...out in 2 hours! Joked with Roberto, too. We get these tests about every 3 or 4 years, probably like a lot of you guys do. Its great to make doc appts early if you can!

Enjoying more coffee now. Hub has requested the homemade chicken noodle soup thats frozen up in the apt. fridge, so should be an easy "just add noodles" supper night ...seems like we always eat soup or pizza when its rainy! How about you guys?
 
@Lee I hope you don't see that hairdresser who cancelled last minute, at the grocery store. :rolleyes:
But if so, then you will know there is a reason for you to try someone else. :)

@Liberty It sounds like that medical team gets in their cardio workouts, by doing yours. ;)

I find that plant subject interests me... it turns color in Autumn, even though your daylight does not shorten nearly as much as ours in the North does? But it still 'gets the message' to shift...

I think I will look up 'propagation from plant tissue' unless you want to tell me which part of the plant tissue is used...stem, root, etc?

Looks like a great spot for a walk, @Gardenlover !

Gorgeous shade of blue, I see here, as the sky outside my window, is darkening gradually, to signal the day is done.

Walking on the sand is a bit more difficult, but it's better exercise. My friend who is 69 was putting me to shame. 🥴

Yes, we usually have long and shiny Autumns here where I live...we do have a couple sugar maples on the property along with many other trees that turn very colorful - with stages of leaf change from Oct-December.

As far as the tissue culture samplings - they take samples from all parts of the plant; stem, leaf and/or root. The DNA
of the plant is in each part so the cells signal the tissue culture to replicate the complete plant. This is done under sterile, space age clean room conditions.

I love French Toast, especially when it is made with good sour dough bread, topped off with fresh berries and real maple syrup.

This morning I made such a treat for myself, and it was looking "Real Good."

I moved it to the table, added the berries, and from a container that looked identical to our maple syrup, poured Miso Tamari all over my breakfast.

That first bite was a real disappointment.

It has taken me several hours to think this was funny.

My wife saw the humor right away!

Kaila....it worked out well, I took a chance and got the new stylist. She was young, pleasant and talked me into a new doo. Her words when I hesitated "you're not too old to try something new" and that did it. She cut quite a bit off, told me to take advantage of the natural curl and did what she called texturizing which made me nervous till seeing the results. Still trying to get used to it but I think I like it.
 
It felt like spring today - mild, calm and clear blue sky.
Don't know if anyone uses film cameras these days, but in a charity shop, I bought a pristine Pentax SLR camera with a zoom lens for ÂŁ8 (about $10). I looked it up on eBay and the going rate is about ÂŁ50 depending on condition. I'm not interested in the camera, but the lens will fit several DSLR's.

Very daring and adventurous! :giggle:
We're not too old for a bit of adventure, either! (y):ROFLMAO:
I always love the ways you word things, Lee.
Am glad you joined us!
 
We are in the middle of a severe weather event: heavy rain, winds around 60 mph, flash flooding, and tornados a few miles away. The sky has gotten as dark as night several times in the last hour.

Thus far our neighborhood still has power.

This is turning out to be a most interesting day.

I did get our outside area prepared earlier today. The most difficult part was coaxing the cat out from one of her favorite outside hiding places. She is hunkered down in my office right now.
 
I only got in my early walk this morning around 6:45 because the local 'weather experts' kept saying we would get freezing rain,then rain and snow
As I looked out my window today I didn't see any of this preciptation.
Instead of going outside,I did some shredding, walked up/down 3 flights of stairs twice ,did PT knee exercises a couple times read my book
